Question

as it is told so due to osmosis water should move from root to surrounding area but why its opposite, i. e, from surrounding to root

Answer 1

osmosis is the movement of water from area of low solute concentration( which obviously implies that here water is in high amount) to an area of high solute concentration( which obviously implies that here water is in low amount) .

water will move to a place which is in need of it (i.e. the root in this case)(which is thirsty)

as your book clearly states that the concentration of cell sap (solute) is high inside the cell as compared to outside the water will clearly move from outside to inside the cell

Answer 2

Explanation:

Osmosis in correct terms is the flow of. water from higher concentration to lower concentration ... The flow of water will be only when their will be a concentration difference in two solutions ..
